LONDON, Sept 24 (Reuters) - European shares halted a two-day
slide on Wednesday, helped by supportive comments from European
Central Bank chief Mario Draghi, although the mood remained
cautious ahead of a key German sentiment survey.

Speaking in a French radio interview Draghi said the ECB
would keep monetary policy loose for as long as it takes to push
up inflation in the euro zone from near zero towards the level
of just under 2 percent targeted by the ECB.

At 0704 GMT, the pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index
was up 0.1 percent at 1,376.45 points, having shed
nearly 2 percent over the previous two days.

After a raft of worse-than-expected economic data from euro
zone countries, including German and French business surveys on
Tuesday, investors were braced for more disappointment when
Germany's Ifo business morale index is published at 0800 GMT.
